What is meant by wattless current?
Current flowing through an ac circuit in which power consumed is zero is called wattless current.
What is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit is called?
Resistance is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit.
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
A path that allows only one route for a current is called a?
series circuit
What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?
This is called a closed circuit. If current was not flowing, it would be open.
A loop with a break in it that prevents current from flowing is called?
an open circuit.
What is meant by wattless current?
Current flowing through an ac circuit in which power consumed is zero is called wattless current.
What measures the flowing in a circuit?
The flow in a circuit is called the electric current and it is measured by voltages. The number of volts that are present in the charge will determine the strength of the electric current.
What is the name of the circuit has current flowing in a loop from the negative battery terminal in the positive battery terminal?
its called a direct current aka DC
What is a switch that opens a cuircut when too much current is flowing?
Where I'm from, it's called a "circuit breaker".A circuit breaker.
What is the name of flowing electricity?
Flowing electricity is called electric current.
What is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit is called?
Resistance is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit.
What is the charge flowing per second in a circuit?
The numerical representation of one coulomb of charge moving past a point in a circuit per second is called an ampere.
Is it dangerous for a earth wire to be hanging in the kitchen?
No. An earth wire (commonly called a ground wire) has no current flowing through it. It is simply a wire connected to the ground to discharge electrical current in a circuit.
A circuit carrying current in one direction is called a?
Direct current circuit.
What goes around a circuit?
Charge, in the form of electrons, flow through a circuit. This is called electric current. 1 amp = 1 coulomb of charge per second flowing past a point in the circuit.
